Hamilton's Rack Runner can integrate multiple -20C and -80C Sample Access Manager (SAM) storage systems into a cluster or link storage with a Hamilton liquid-handling workstation.
The Rack Runner's range enables scalable integration of multiple Hamilton and third-party systems, including incubators, readers, washers and shakers.
The Rack Runner meets the evolving storage needs of customers in biobanking, virus banking, DNA and RNA research and pharmaceutical discovery and development.
Users can start with a single SAM, adding and linking additional systems as capacity requirements grow in the future.
The small and agile Rack Runner moves on a linear drive that is extendable from 8cm to 8m.
The robot moves at up to 2.5m per second and can be controlled wirelessly.
Elimination of moving cables makes the robot more robust than other tools and reduces maintenance requirements.
The robot's gripper is equipped with force sensors to guarantee secure gripping, delivery and positioning of the plates and racks.
A Plexiglas housing with locked access doors ensures user safety.
